It's annoying to publish the papers in their journals. These journals are not related to my specialty or area of interest. In addition, invitations to fake conferences also started following. So I surprised how they get the information of authors and how they share this information. Who is behind these all.
Hi Dr Akshaya
Sir they find your Mail ID from your published paper
Specially in papers you are corresponding author easily they fetch mail ID
Regards
Must be from our publications but it seems to me that research wing of some online journals is extremely poor. I regularly receive invitation from a journal on mechanical engineering though my specialty is plant taxonomy!
Dear Akshaya Bhagavathula
Definitely from our published work, because sometimes title of a published paper along with journal name is mentioned in the request mail.
Thanks!
Prof Akshaya Bhagavathula , majority of them collected from published articles and also from the university websites they find the experts of relevant field.
Quite right! I agree with colleagues - they find your Mail ID from your published paper.
But I want to say that this is not necessarily a bad journal. Among these journals there are those that are just beginning to develop. I understand this as the editor of a new (young) scientific journal. It is very difficult to develop your own scientific journal when there are so many dishonest journals for making money.
Sure they obtain the emails from previous publications and that is why the message come more rapidly when you just published a new article. However, you can unsubscribe from the fake journals.
They also follow yours Submission of Manuscripts to journals later they start emailing might get you on Trap. Regards
True, the first reason is that spam journals get our email IDs from our previous publications published in other journals. The second reason is that some journals share the authors' contact info with a third-party.
That means, journals are selling our personal information to these spammer's?
Unfortunately, The scientific research became a business and lack transparency.
